Rainrescue   10 #3 Posted October 1, 2010 Isn't it always recommended that you should only ever buy a puppy when its with its mother?  Personally I wouldn't entertain buying a puppy from a pet shop - even though I'm sure these are nice and look nice - you don't know what conditions they have been born and bred in.  Keep looking - healthy puppies with their mums will be out there - good luck - there are many unscrupulous people out there in these types of dogs too.

Rainrescue   10 #6 Posted October 1, 2010 I am sure you wouldn't and tbh - many people really don't realise the problem. Just go to Harrods - there are loads of puppies for sale there too.  If people don't know tho - we have to make them aware, otherwise (and I'm not saying this pet shop would buy from a puppy farm in any way), but many puppy farms will sell to pet shops because a good bath and a nice collar can hide an awful lot of pain that they ve already gone through at the farm. Not to say what their poor mums and dads are still going through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rainrescue   10 #9 Posted October 1, 2010 The rescues' dont usually get puppies in though Crazy_chick. They get the ones after they have had problems - or the old ex-breeding bitches.  If the poster wants a puppy - maybe contact the Kennel Club and ask for breeders on the Accredited Breeder Scheme (I won't go there as to if its good or not).  Once you find a good breeder who has puppies - make sure you see mum and even ask to talk to other people who have bought puppies from them previously ?  Its a minefield isn't it - trying to do it right. The trouble is - so many breeders who are breeding for money - have the credibility but fail on the health checks. I think if you can find a few people who have bought from a breeder before, and see a nice clean and healthy well loved mum - that must be worth buying from?
